Cowboys' Bryant out 4-6 weeks with ankle sprain

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -Cowboys rookie receiver Dez Bryant is going to be out four to six weeks with a high right ankle sprain.

Bryant injured his ankle near the end of practice Friday when he became entangled with cornerback Orlando Scandrick while trying to catch a pass that was thrown behind him.

The team announced a couple of hours later, after Bryant had been evaluated, that the first-round pick would be out for a while.

Bryant didn't immediately get up after the play. When he finally did gingerly get to his feet while taking his helmet off, he took only a step before falling back to the turf. The first-round draft pick was reaching for his ankle and grimacing in obvious pain. Two trainers who checked on him then helped him off the field.
